Horrible Grooming Experience
I recently brought my cat to Pet World Diep River , and I was extremely disappointed with the service. First, the grooming itself was subpar. My cat was not properly cleaned, and to top it all off I basically had to wash the cat myself . There were two groomers in the room and the assistant basically did nothing and just stood by whilst I had to assist , which I feel is ********* as I am paying for a service . Additionally, my cat seemed unusually stressed and anxious after the appointment, which has never happened with previous groomers.
What made the experience even worse was the complete lack of professionalism and courtesy from the staff. When I pointed out the issues with the grooming, they were dismissive and did not offer any apologies or solutions. It felt like they didn't care about the quality of their work or the well-being of my pet.
I tried to address my concerns multiple times, but each time I was met with indifference. The lack of accountability and customer service was truly disappointing. I expect a much higher level of care and respect from a professional groomer.
I would not recommend Pet World to anyone looking for a reliable and caring grooming service for their pet. There are many other groomers out there who value their customers and take pride in their work.

20 Jul 2024, 12:01Dear Safiyyah,
Thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We sincerely apologize for the distressing experience you and your cat had during your recent visit to our Petworld Diep River grooming parlour. We deeply value feedback from our customers as it helps us improve our services and address any issues that may arise.
We have reviewed your complaint in detail and would like to address each of your concerns with the utmost respect and care:
Grooming Quality: We regret that you felt the grooming service was subpar and that your cat was not properly cleaned. Our groomers aim to provide the highest quality of service, and it is clear that we did not meet your expectations in this instance.
Assistance During Grooming: Our records and video footage indicate that your cat was highly stressed and exhibited signs of distress. As this was the first time your cat was groomed away from home, the new environment likely contributed to his anxiety. Your cat has typically been groomed at home, either by yourself or by a mobile groomer, which is a more fami**** and secure environment for him. To ensure the safety of both your cat and our staff, we requested your daughter's assistance to help calm your cat during the grooming process. While your daughter did assist, we understand she did not express discomfort at the time, and our team should have recognized her inexperience and offered alternative assistance.
Stress and Anxiety: We understand how concerning it is when a pet shows signs of stress. Our team suggested that your cat might benefit from a calming supplement before future grooming sessions to help reduce anxiety. We are sorry if this advice came too late to help during your recent visit.
Professionalism and Courtesy: It is troubling to hear that you felt our staff were dismissive and lacked professionalism. Our team strives to be courteous and responsive to all customer concerns. We apologize if this was not your experience and will address this with our staff to ensure it does not happen again.
Communication: We understand that you tried to address your concerns multiple times. It is disappointing to hear that you felt met with indifference. We are committed to improving our communication and customer service to ensure all our clients feel heard and valued. Additionally, we noted that you did not raise your concerns at checkout, which would have given management an immediate opportunity to address them. We apologise for any oversight on our part during this critical moment.
Team Dynamics: The other groomer present was preparing equipment for the head groomer, as it was decided that the head groomer was needed to carry out the challenging grooming session. However, we recognize that better communication and support should have been provided to both you and your daughter.
In light of your experience, we are taking steps to ensure that such situations are handled better in the future. We will provide additional training to our staff on handling anxious pets and improving customer communication. Additionally, we will ensure that any assistance required from pet owners is clearly communicated and that alternative options are offered.
We deeply regret that your experience did not reflect the high standards we set for our grooming services. We hope you will give us another opportunity to provide the excellent service you and your cat deserve. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss this matter in more detail, please feel free to contact me directly at ***.
Thank you for your understanding and for giving us the chance to address your concerns.Warm regards,Vannessa
